Chiropractic Techniques

Diversified - most common technique used by chiropractors. It is characterized by high velocity, low amplitude thrust. The technique uses a specific lie of drive to restore proper movement and alignment of the spine

Activator Method - uses a small handheld instrument, called an activator. It has a soft rubber tip to deliver a light force to the area being treated

Drop Techniques - chiropractic adjustments are performed on a table in which cushions drop about an inch when thrust is applied to the spine

Intersegmental traction - it induces passive motion to the spine to decrease fixation. It improves circulation of spinal fluids and therefore nourishes the disc, and prevents disc thinning and degeneration.

Diathermy - it is a painless procedure. It delivers moderate heat to the deep tissues, and is used to destroy abnormal cells and tissue. The heat increases blood flow, and helps speeding up the recovery.

Cryotherapy - using low temperature to decrease the inflammation and promote healing

Stretching and exercises

Acupuncture Techniques

Electro-acupuncture - is non-invasive. Using a specialized electrical stimulus for treating the acupuncture points.
